Hi everyone, my name is Amie and I am a brand new LCN Vlogger. I will be here bringing a variety of different videos on a monthly basis.

In early June, I took part in my first vacation scheme with Brabners LLP in the firm’s Liverpool office.

As we’re now well into the application season, I thought I’d write a post on how I prepared for, and succeeded, in a recent case study interview during an assessment centre.

Amicus is a legal non-profit organisation based in London, which helps secure equal access to justice for those facing the death penalty in the United States. Every year, the organisation provides autumn and spring training for those interested in volunteering. 

The second Saturday began with an in-depth explanation and advice on mitigation in the US criminal justice system. This is particularly important for death penalty litigation, as this is the best way for defendants to have their sentences changed. 

With LawCareers.Net recently announcing that applications for their 2022 LawCareersNetLIVE events will be opening soon, I thought I would share my experience at LawCareersNetLIVE 2021 in London. I want to give an insight into what you could expect, and why I would highly recommend applying.

This video is about my experience in my final year, compared to first and second. I also share some advice on how not to let your degree get the best of you. I hope you enjoy my video.

This year I’m going into my final and ‘most important’ year of university. Previously, I’ve discussed the third-year content I’ll be covering and some preparation tips for approaching the next year of your degree. However, I also thought it’d be beneficial to share my thoughts and feelings approaching the beginning of term.

As first-year scheme applications draw to a close, I thought that this would be a good time to blog about my experience applying to first-year schemes and open days at various law firms.

How would the proposed Clementi reforms affect the way the legal profession handles complaints?

A pilot scheme launched by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, which gives law students the chance to help unrepresented doctors who have been referred for a fitness-to-practise hearing, is enjoying early success.

The government’s £1 billion courts modernisation project will be probed again by MPs, it was announced yesterday.

The president of the Law Society, Lucy Scott-Moncrieff, has given evidence to the Justice Select Committee of MPs setting out the disastrous consequences that would result from the government’s plans to further cut legal aid.

Calls to reject proposals for a new ‘super exam’ for qualifying solicitors have increased in intensity to put the Legal Services Board under unprecedented pressure as it considers its final decision.
